I wait until the sunflower seeds start appearing and the birds start snacking on the seeds, then start cutting them down. I leave a few up for the birds to eat off of through mid-October. Of the ones chopped, I generally cut the heads off and lay them out for the birds. The stalks get chopped into sections and composted. I had quite a few sunflowers this year, so started removing them about two weeks ago. |
